(2 Samuel 6)
On the road Israel did start
The ark of God on a new cart
A cart shiny, impressive and new
It brought the ark into full view
This new cart created by a "genius"
It brought ease and convenience
No more requiring sacrifice
A journey easier did entice
The priests no longer carried the load
A seeker-friendly ark down the road
Now the ark look contemporary
Like a new remodeled sanctuary
A gospel of convenience, a gospel of ease
A gospel of staying off of our knees
Churches can spend much on their sound
And on their building and the lighting around
But now the focus is more on the cart
Yet it cannot change a single heart
The church is left with a dim luminescence
We've traded the cart for God's presence
The ark of His Presence must again be found
Or just take the empty cart and shut it down
May there be a hunger for Jesus in our heart
Or else all we have is a shiny new cart
